Chapter 211: The Jing Soldiers Arrive
After returning from Ermao and Pig's trotters, the case has been stalled for several days, and there has been no progress at all.
Situ Jingping and Guo Wei's emotions were a little lost, and even Ouyang Kai, who had always been unsmiling, didn't look very good.
Until this day, several people in Yunzhou City finally ushered in good news.
In the morning, not long after Situ Jingping and Guo Wei arrived at the yamen of Yunjiang Mansion, a large group of people stopped outside the yamen of Yunjiang Mansion.
"Shen Shaoqing! What are you doing here? ”
The first person to see the person who came was Situ Zhuzhi, who was about to go out, he was going outside to see if there would be any crooked-faced peddler, and he stopped after seeing Shen Jingbing.
"Where is this going?"
Seeing that Situ Zhuan Zhi wanted to go out, Shen Jingbing opened his mouth and asked him.
"Shen Shaoqing, I'm about to go to the street to try my luck."
Ever since Ouyang Kai drew a rough portrait of the crooked-faced peddler, they felt so close to him, but when they returned from Ermao and Pig's Trotters' residence, they found that the case had entered a dead end.
"Don't worry, I'll go find Lord Situ and Master Guo, there are new instructions on the saint."
Shen Jingbing came with Emperor Xiao's instructions this time, and it was for the case of the forty-two members of the Qin family who were killed.
"Your Excellency is inside, Shen Shaoqing, please come with me."
There is also Ouyang Kai in the yamen, so Situ Zhuanzhi can leave so reassuringly and go to the street to find the figure of the crooked-faced peddler, but now Shen Jingbing said that he had to stay with Emperor Xiao's new instructions.
"My lord, Shen Shaoqing is here."
Before today, no one in Yunzhou City knew that Shen Jingbing would arrive, and Situ Zhuzhi saw the hope of solving the case.
The resources of Dali Temple to solve the case are not comparable to the Criminal Department, before there was only Guo Wei alone, and he has done his best in this environment, and now Shen Jingbing should bring people from Dali Temple, so it should be to bring the resources of Dali Temple to Yunzhou City.
Guo Wei, who was sorting out the clues of the case inside, heard Situ Zhuanzhi's shout, and his expression was relieved, and it should not be far from solving the case now.
And Situ Jingping thought that Emperor Xiao knew something, so he asked the people from Dali Temple to come down to investigate this case.
"Meet Lord Situ, Lord Guo!"
After Shen Jingbing entered the door, he bowed to Situ Jingping and Guo Wei and saluted them.
"Shen Shaoqing is so polite!"
Although Shen Jingbing only has the rank of Sanpin, he is an extremely capable official in Dali Temple, and he is the most powerful assistant by Guo Wei's side.
The treatment of Situ Jingping and Guo Wei is actually very different, in Dali Temple, everyone is an expert in investigating cases selected from all over the country, including the Criminal Department, plus the resources given by Emperor Xiao, in terms of the efficiency of solving cases, they have already thrown off the Criminal Department a few streets.
However, the Criminal Department pays more attention to the review and management of cases in various yamen, and in addition, the people who are able to solve cases have gone to Dali Temple, so they are not as efficient as Dali Temple in solving cases.
"My lord, this is a secret letter from the Holy Lord, please take a look."
Shen Jingbing took out a letter and handed it to Situ Jingping.
Situ Jingping took the secret letter handed over by Shen Jingbing, opened it and read it carefully.
After reading it, he handed it to Guo Wei next to him, and it was an instruction to the two of them.
"Two adults, this case of the Qin family, the Holy Lord already knows about it, and he has already sent people to investigate the situation of the major sects a few days ago."
Situ Jingping's letter to Emperor Xiao was sent urgently, and after learning what happened in Yunzhou City, Emperor Xiao immediately sent people to investigate the various sects in the rivers and lakes around Yunzhou City.
This is why he couldn't wait for Emperor Xiao's instructions for a long time, and after the results of the investigation were out, he sent Shen Jingbing to rush to Yunzhou City with the people of Dali Temple.
"Did the investigation come out of the way?"
There are too many channels in Xiao Huang's hands, far more than the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, and the news channels are not comparable to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, and it is not difficult to find out what is really done.
"Among all the Jianghu sects around Yunzhou City, there were masters who appeared near Yunzhou City during the Mid-Autumn Festival last month, only Zhao Yiyi, the head of the Hundred Flowers Valley, and Taixuan, the head of the Liuyun Sect."
Shen Jingbing told Tu Jingping and Guo Wei the news that Emperor Xiao had given him.
"Is the saint suspicious of the head of Taixuan?"
Zhao Yiyi is not a murderer, this is what Guo Wei has found out before, if there are only Taixuan and Zhao Yiyi, there is no doubt that the biggest suspicion now is the Taixuan head of Liuyun Sect.
"What the Holy One thinks, we don't dare to speculate."
What did Emperor Xiao mean, Shen Jingbing didn't dare to say it explicitly, but in fact, Emperor Xiao just told him that the case was going to Zhao Yiyi and Taixuan.
"Do you know what the head of Taixuan looks like?"
Although the Liuyun Sect had contributed a lot of effort to the encirclement and suppression of the Five Poisonous Beasts more than ten years ago, neither Situ Jingping nor Guo Wei had ever seen him.
"It is not known yet, but someone will send his portrait soon."
Emperor Xiao also took into account the fact that Situ Jin Jingping and Guo Wei might not know the head of Taixuan, so he deliberately asked people to go to Weizhou to find a portrait of the head of Taixuan of Liuyun Sect, but because they need to go to Weizhou first and then to Yunzhou, it may take more time.
"My lord, someone has come to report the crime!"
Situ Zhuanzhi, who had not yet been on the street, ran in and said to Situ Jingping.
"What do you report?"
Seeing Situ Zhuanzhi's anxious look, Situ Jingping stopped talking with Shen Jingbing and asked Situ Zhuanzhi instead.
Situ Zhuzhi is not a person who has no seriousness, and at this time he ran over and said that someone had reported the case, and the case to be reported must be unusual.
"Orion has found two corpses in the woods outside the east gate of the city!"
It was another murder, Situ Zhuan Zhi didn't dare to slack off, and immediately ran over to explain the situation to Situ Jingping after briefly recording the situation.
"Let's take a look!"
There were a series of murder cases in Yunzhou City, which made Situ Jingping very puzzled, what was the reason why the murderer was so sad and crazy.
Outside the east of Yunzhou City, in a puddle in a forest, two people were lying in the puddle with their backs to the sky.
There was no water in the puddle anymore, to be precise, it should be just a small swamp, only part of the two people were soaked in the water, and the rest had sunk into the mud.
After getting closer, a foul smell came from the puddle, and Situ Jingping couldn't help but cover his nose.
"They should have been dead for a long time."
Circling around the puddle, Guo Wei judged.
"There are no obvious traces around here, and the perpetrator should be very good at kung fu."
The footprints on the ground are all newly stepped on, which is not difficult to judge, there are no old traces around the puddle, and the perpetrator should have done very good kung fu, at least lightly.
"Judging by their state, it should be ......."
Guo Wei looked at the two people in the puddle, and then looked up at the surrounding trees,
"Jingbing, send me up."
Guo Wei walked under a big tree, turned around and said to Shen Jingbing.
"Okay, my lord, come here."
Shen Jingbing knew what Guo Wei wanted to do, so he squatted under the tree and motioned for Guo Wei to go to him.
"Good!"
Guo Wei nodded, ran two quick steps, and then kicked in front of Shen Jingbing.
Shen Jingbing sent his hands up, and Guo Wei used his strength to rise up and landed directly on the trunk.
The people under the tree almost dropped their jaws when they saw the two of them working together so skillfully.
Guo Wei stood on the trunk of the tree, his eyes fixed on the puddle, and his hands kept repeating the action of throwing things.
Then he turned around and looked at the other trees in the woods.
"It was thrown from here, and the murderer was transferred to this tree from that side."
Guo Wei turned his back to the puddle and pointed to the trees in front of him.
Following the direction pointed by Guo Wei, Ouyang Kai jumped onto another tree.
"Is this, mud?"
As soon as he jumped up the tree, Ouyang Kai made a discovery on the trunk of the tree, and there seemed to be a handful of mud on the trunk, which was firmly glued to the tree.
There are traces of rain washing, and it is normal to think about it, from the time he left Yunzhou to the time he returned to Yunzhou, it was impossible for this period of time without rain.
"There are traces of mud, and people have indeed passed over it."
Coming down from the tree, Ouyang Kai affirmed Guo Wei's judgment that the murderer came from the direction pointed by Guo Ziwei.
"Look around and see if there are any other signs."
At the sound of an order, the people of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple dispersed, looking for clues in the woods.
"Who are these two people? How could someone be killed here? ”
The bodies of both people have rotted, and it is impossible to salvage them intact, Guo Wei is next to the puddle, speculating on the identities of the two people in the puddle.
"Could it be Ermao and Pig's Trotters, the two gangsters in Yunzhou City?"
Situ Jingping put forward his opinion, Ermao and the pig's trotters should have disappeared at the same time, and there were two people in the puddle, he had to doubt it.
"It's the two of them."
Ouyang Kai walked up and said with certainty that he could be sure that the two people in the puddle were the gangsters Ermao and the pig's trotters from Yunzhou City.
"How does Ouyang know?"
Ouyang Kai's tone was so firm, Situ Jingping and Guo Wei were surprised, after all, the two people in the puddle were already unrecognizable.
"I know their clothes, on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, when Qin Pang asked them to come to me for trouble, they wore these two sets of clothes."
That night, among the gangsters who were taught by him, Ermao and Pig's Trotters were among them, and Ouyang Kai did not doubt his eyes and memory.
"Your Excellency, you might as well scoop them up first."
Situ Jingping and Guo Wei obviously didn't believe Ouyang Kai's judgment, and Ouyang could only let them salvage the two people in the puddle first.
"Okay, let's get them up first."
After thinking about it, Guo Wei and Situ Jingping nodded, and the only way to do this now is to fish them out first.
"My lord, do you want to call Da Lang over?"
The guy who had been with Situ Jingping to inquire about the news of the two of them around Ermao and the pig's trotter house asked Situ Jingping in a low voice.
He is no longer willing to salvage the dead, he used to fish for night incense in Zhaozhou, and some time ago he carried the corpse at Yang's house in Yunzhou, and he couldn't accept this rancid smell at all.
But there were only three or four guys around Situ Jingping, and if he couldn't find an excuse to leave, he would definitely have to salvage the two people in the puddle.
